Speakers include Captain Michael Barritt (President of the Hakluyt Society), Professor David Richardson (Former Director of WISE, University of Hull), Dr Nigel Rigby (Head of Research, National Maritime Museum, Greenwich), and Dr Silke Strickrodt (Visiting Research Fellow, Centre of Modern Oriental Studies, Berlin).

Conference registration will be free to members of the Hakluyt Society or £30 to non-members (including tea and coffee). However, the registration fee will be waived for individuals who opt to join the Society at the start of the conference on payment of the Society’s annual subscription of £60, or £30 for qualifying student members. This payment will additionally entitle them to a year’s full membership of the Society, while those who qualify as a student members will be eligible for a year’s full membership without further charge. Those taking advantage of this offer will be given the option of subscribing for the current year 2015 and receiving our publications for that year, or of delaying the start of their subscription to the year beginning January 2016.

Conference registration is now open. Members and non-members requiring registration should not apply to the Hakluyt Society but must visit the Eventbrite website, through which registration is being centralised, and where non-members may pay securely by major credit card.
